I'm in the same boat. At the end my pair was good so I figured I'll sell by 07/08 pair later and just get these. They were even below retail at some places for a while.Yeah.. been trying to cop since last year. Still had my 07 pair and was waiting to sell them and when I did the prices were too high for me to want to cop. Might end up just not owning these.
Over time I have become less of a fan of the VIII so I'm not paying that much for these.
I remember you could get these for retail these boys was sitting on shelf’s now they 300+
They were going for under retail.
I returned my snkrs pair and got em of villa for like 110.
Completely forgot about these till recently was doing some quarantine cleaning and found these DS along with a pair of DS 2013 playoff 8s and DS pair of 2013 taxi 12s.
Yeah I have a DS pair of these I bought for around $100 as well. We should probably wear our pairs soon though since 8s don’t do well at all (in terms of midsole cracking/separation) if kept DS for a few too many years.
That's true.. just have to hope the midsole don't crumble. Might be what to find a used pair for cheap.peacebrand Next retro might be an eternity with how recently these released. But I'm going to wait it out too. You never know. If the prices come down I may cop.

What's the best way to make the midsole last as long as possible?? I have cracking in the paint and shoes sit on a rack not in the box.
I think a big part of the problem is that 8s have a notoriously bad midsole. I think any pairs that are kept DS should at least be worn around the house every now and then since I think un-DSing a 5+ year old pair that hasn’t been used to taking that kind of pressure can lead to some structural problems. I’ll admit I’m fully guilty of this as well since I have a pair of these Aquas and a pair of Chrome 8s from this time that are both DS.

I think/hear that midsoles on these remastered pairs were better softer and not the stuff they used to use so they should hold up upon wearing them today. How long ago was the release? I feel like it was either 2015 or 16.
Now 07's forget it.. I wouldnt trust a DS pair of those at all.
